Yoo Hoo!

Need some help please. I have 2 memory sticks for my digital camera, however, when I put them in the camera it says that there is no memory available, but when I plug the camera into my computer and open the stick icon - there is nothing in it???? How could this be, and how can I clear the sticks cos they aint cheap!!

Thanks in advance

The doctor says, 'It's old age.'
The woman says, 'I want a second opinion.'
The doctor says: 'Okay - you're ugly as well.'

reformat it. One thing I learned, when I used my memory stick an my Mac, i'd delete the files off of it, but if I didnt empty the trash while the memory stick was in, the "phantom files" would still be on the card. (youd open the card in finder and it was empty but there were still files stored in the trash from my memory stick!) Anyway, that could be your problem. Just reformat and make sure you completely delete files from now on. Hope that helps...

Also, remember to format the cards from your camera, not from a card reader attached to your computer. If you still can't se sh*t, but the camera refuses to take any more pictures claiming the memory card is full, there's something wrong with the card. You can download/buy recovery software to fetch out most of your photos, but depending on the case you may lose some or all.
